One Stop on Your Chesapeake Bay Adventure: A Transient Boater’s Experience at Pier 7 Resort Marina

Cruising the Chesapeake Bay is about so much more than the destination. It’s the sail, the people you meet and the stops along the way. If you’re heading North toward Annapolis or making your way South along the shoreline, finding the right Chesapeake Bay transient marina can turn a simple overnight stay into part of the adventure itself.

At Pier 7 Resort Marina, transient boaters don’t just tie up for the night and set off in the morning. Our experience here provides an atmosphere to settle in, unwind, and experience the Bay the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Easy Arrival, Effortless Docking

Located just minutes from Annapolis and direct access from the Bay, Pier 7 offers convenient transient boat slips on the Chesapeake Bay for cruisers passing through or planning a weekend stop. Our protected marina makes docking simple and stress-free. Friendly dock staff are ready to assist with lines and hookups, and every transient guest has access to:

Shore Power

Fresh Water Hookups

On-site Laundry and Private Showers

High-Speed Internet

Well Maintained, Clean Dock Space

If you’re searching for overnight dockage near Annapolis without the congestion of downtown Annapolis harbor marinas, Pier 7 offers the perfect alternative.

Steps From Your Slip to Dinner with a Sunset View

One of the best parts of choosing the right Chesapeake Bay transient marina? What happens after you dock. At Pier 7, your evening plans are just steps away at Coconut Joe’s, our on-site waterfront restaurant. Walk off your boat, grab a table overlooking the water, and enjoy dinner as the sun sets. No car or rideshare needed!

Transient guests also have exclusive access to our private waterfront beach area to enjoy the firepits, grilling, swimming, and seating to take in the view. After a long day on the water, imagine stepping off your boat and onto the sand, starting a fire and grilling with family and friends.

Dock Near Annapolis, Without the Congestion of Downtown

Annapolis remains one of the most popular boating destinations on the Chesapeake, but during peak season, transient slips can be limited and marinas crowded. Pier 7 offers a quieter alternative for boaters seeking overnight dockage near Annapolis while staying within minutes of the city by boat or car.

If you’re planning your next cruise and searching for transient boat slips on the Chesapeake Bay, we invite you to make Pier 7 part of your adventure.

Tie up. Walk to dinner. Build a fire on the beach. Wake up to waterfront views.
